Hi, I want to disable rpm-ostree (general system) updates, but keep auto updates of distrobox and flatpaks. How to do it?
GNOME has the toggle, Bluefin has its own ujust toggle-updates.
Can I toggle ujust to disable updates and using GNOME settings?
Sorry about my previous post, I made a mistake there.
To disable system updates within ujust upgrade, you need to edit a specific file. In this case, topgrade looks for a config file in /usr/share/ublue-os/topgrade.toml. You need to add “system” to the disable list.
That should make ujust update ignore system updates specifically. After that, just make Gnome is not updating the system on its own.
Just note that this file might be modified by the system, I’m not sure whether a system update may change this file in the future.
You can also disable the toggle like you stated, but that might also disable distrobox and other auto-updates
That file is read only, you can’t edit it. The convention is to copy it into ~/.config/topgrade.toml and then make your changes there.
You can edit /etc/ublue-os/topgrade.toml and add a misc.disable section like the one in the read-only file, for example:
[misc]
disable = ["system"]
Hopefully that config file is not overwritten by updates. If it is, then I think we’re dependent on this feature request being completed.
ok, this is what is was after in my previous post regarding upgrading of nvidia drivers.
so in saying that, how to or add into toml to avoid nvidia upgrades please
It doesn’t work that way, the nvidia drivers are baked into the image itself. But you could just stay on your old image and run flatpak update by hand if you want to keep the apps up to date.
Then when the next nvidia driver drops give that a shot.
gotch’a
probably ill do that, cheers
